Calzonetti has helped lead the Rams to back-to-back Tri-County Conference Diamond Divison titles and to playoff appearances in all four seasons. These are just some of the reasons why he was named this season's Gloucester County Times Boys Basketball Player of the Year.

In a season where West Deptford's A.J. Greenwald and Clayton's Ray Sanders set the world on fire offensively, Calzonetti did more than just average 17.2 points per game. The senior forward hit the boards, made smart passes and, more significantly, was one of the top defenders in the area.
In an upset win over Penns Grove that helped the Rams earn a share of the Diamond Division, Calzonetti not only scored 15 of the team's 32 points, but defended Dominique Roy on Penns Grove's final possession, forcing him to take a bad shot.
